 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an exemplary embodiment of a mounting apparatus is provided to fix a data storage device 20, such as a hard disk drive. The data storage device 20 includes two opposite sidewalls 24, a front wall 21 and a rear wall 22 connected to front and rear ends of the two sidewalls 24. Each sidewall 24 defines a plurality of fixing holes 25. The rear wall 22 includes an interface 26.
The mounting apparatus 10 includes an installing member 30, a positioning board 40, a fixing board 50, a resilient member 60, and a latching member 70.
The installing member 30 includes a connecting portion 36 at a first end of the installing member 30. A slot 32 is defined in a first side of the installing member 30 facing the front wall 21 of the data storage device 20, adjacent to a second end of the installing member 30 away from the connecting portion 36. A clamping block 34 extends into the slot 32 from a bottom of the slot 32. The connecting portion 36 defines a receiving space 38 facing the front wall 21 of the data storage device 20. Two protrusions 380 extend into the receiving space 38 from a resisting side 33 of the receiving space 38 facing the data storage device 20. A top wall and a bottom wall of the receiving space 38 each define a sliding hole 366 having a double-D shape. Two opposite fixing tabs 362 extend from an outer side of the resisting side 33, away from the data storage device 20. Each fixing tab 362 defines a fixing hole 364. An outer side of the connecting portion 36 opposite to the data storage device 20 defines a receiving hole 39, extending to communicate with the receiving space 38.
The positioning board 40 defines a plurality of fixing holes 42.
The fixing board 50 defines a plurality of fixing holes 52. A column-shaped mounting portion 54 extends from one end of the fixing board 50. The mounting portion 54 axially defines a fixing hole 56, and a depressed region 58 is defined in a circumference of the mounting portion 54, opposite to the fixing board 50.
The resilient member 60 includes a V-shaped fixing portion 65, a positioning portion 62 extending from a first end of the fixing portion 65, and a pushing tab 66 extending from a second end of the fixing portion 65. A flange tab 622 extends from a distal end of the positioning portion 62, and two resisting protrusions 624 extend from opposite top and bottom sides of the first end of the positioning portion 62.
The latching member 70 includes a main body 72, a locking portion 76 slidably mounted to a first end of the main body 72, and an elastic member such as a spring 78. The main body 72 defines a receiving groove 74 in a first end of the main body 72 facing the installing member 30. A fixing post 742 (shown in FIG. 4) extends into the receiving groove 74 from a sidewall 741 of the receiving groove 74. A top wall and a bottom wall of the receiving groove 74 each define a sliding hole 744. A second end of the main body 72, opposite to the first end of the main body 72, defines two fixing holes 722 in a top wall and a bottom wall of the main body 72, respectively. A hook 77 extends from a distal end of the locking portion 76. Two connecting shafts 762 extend from opposite sides of the locking portion 76. To assemble the latching member 70, the spring 78 is partially fitted about the fixing post 742. The connecting shafts 762 are engaged in the sliding holes 744, respectively, therefore, the locking portion 76 is slidably received in the receiving groove 74, with the hook 77 exposing out of the receiving groove 74. Opposite ends of the spring 78 resist against the locking portion 76 and the sidewall 741 of the receiving groove 74.
Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, in assembly of the data storage device 20, a plurality of screws 90 are passed through the fixing holes 42 of the positioning board 40 and the fixing holes 52 of the fixing board 50, and then screwed into the fixing holes 25 of the sidewalls 24 of the data storage device 20, respectively. Therefore, the data storage device 20 is sandwiched between the positioning board 40 and the fixing board 50. The resilient member 60 is received in the receiving space 38 of the installing member 30, with the fixing portion 65 of the resilient member 60 fixedly engaging in the receiving hole 39 of the installing member 30. The flange tab 622 of the resilient member 60 resists against a distal end of the resisting side 33. The resisting protrusions 624 of the resilient member 60 resist against the protrusions 380 of the installing member 30, respectively, to prevent the resilient member 60 from disengaging from the receiving space 38.
The mounting portion 54 of the fixing board 50 is received in the receiving space 38, and the pushing tab 66 of the resilient member 60 elastically resists against the depressed region 58 of the mounting portion 54. A fixing shaft 80 is slidably passed through the sliding holes 366 of the installing member 30, and fixedly inserted into the fixing hole 56 of the mounting portion 54. Therefore, the mounting portion 54 can be moved in the receiving space 38, with the fixing shaft 80 sliding in the sliding holes 366. The second end of the installing member 30 may be fixed to the positioning board 40. The elasticity of the pushing tab 66 forces the mounting portion 54 to resist against the front side 21 of the data storage device 20, therefore, the interface 26 of the data storage device 20 is firmly connected to a circuit board of a computer (not shown).
The hook 77 of the latching member 70 is inserted into the slot 32 of the installing member 30, through a second side of the installing member 30 opposite to the data storage device 20. In this process, the spring 78 is deformed, and then the spring 78 is released to move the hook 77 to clamp with the clamping block 34 of the installing member 30. A fixing shaft 82 is fixedly engaged in the fixing holes 722 and 364 of the latching member 70 and the installing member 30. Therefore, the latching member 70 is fixed to the installing member 30. A distal end of the latching member 70, neighboring the fixing holes 722 is fixed to a bracket (not shown) of the computer.
During vibration of the data storage device 20, the data storage device 20 is moved towards the installing member 30, together with the fixing board 50. Therefore, the fixing shaft 80 is moved in the sliding holes 366 of the installing member 30. The mounting portion 54 of the fixing board 50 is moved in the receiving space 38 of the installing member 30 to deform the resilient member 60, which may prevent the front side 21 of the data storage device 20 from hitting the first side of the installing member 30. In additional, elasticity of the resilient member 60 can absorb or cushion impact or vibration of the data storage device 20.
It is believed that the present embodiments and their advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and they will be apparent that various changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the description or sacrificing all of their material advantages, the examples hereinbefore described merely being exemplary embodiment.
